    Home to immense beauty and historic wealth, Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, offers a plethora of treasures.

Designed for easy navigation, Copenhagen invites you and your fellow explorers to discover its hidden gems. Admire the pastel colors of the Nyhavn waterfront and contrasting architectural structures around the city along the way. Of course, the famous Little Mermaid statue, inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale, is a must-see for those with an appreciation for classic literature.

    Geiranger, Norway
    • Geiranger, Norway
    • Arrive: 10:30:00
    • Depart: 18:00:00
    The tiny village of Geiranger is home to major adventures, as the area's unique natural surroundings were created during a succession of ice ages when glaciers carved out deep fjords and shaped the high mountains. The crown jewel of all the Norwegian fjords is Geirangerfjord. The entire area, from the snow-covered mountain tops to the clear, blue water, were included on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites. Among the extraordinary features are the Seven Sisters waterfalls, jutting out from the cliff sides in seven separate cataracts and creating a curtain you can walk behind. Travelers seeking a thrilling experience will appreciate the 11 hairpin turns of Trollstigen mountain road, each bend with its own moniker often named after the person who supervised its construction. ...

    • Kristiansund, Norway
    • Arrive: 09:00:00
    • Depart: 22:00:00
    Not to be confused with its sister city, there is more that separates Kristiansund from Kristiansand than a vowel. Kristiansund is Norway's north star, where many believe that the very first Norwegians settled and where much of Viking history can be traced. With a 300-year-old history as a trading port for fish, you enjoy a well-prepared cod at every restaurant and further immerse yourself in the culture at the Clipfish Museum, built on a mid-18th-century wharf. As the town of Kristiansund is spread across four islands, you will most likely need to use the ferry service to get the most out of your visit. Kristiansund also happens to be home to the architectural treasure of Kvernes, a church built in the 1300s. ...
